spinoff-postpartum body-btdts help

I have no idea what size bras I will need. My pre pregnancy size is a 36C. I've been wearing a 36D and I just bumped up to a 38D (i'm 31 weeks). I plan to BF and don't know how much bigger i'll be when my milk comes in. What sizes do nursing bras come in?

Re: spinoff-postpartum body-btdts help

I bought 1 nursing bra at 35 weeks at Pea in the Pod..they measured me and everything.

I bought 2 more once I knew BFing was going well (around 6 weeks) and that I'd be sticking to it...I actually went down a band size (I was carrying VERY high when I was preggs) so I went from 38D to 36D...ummm yeah pre-pregnancy 34B.

In the meantine get those nursing tanks from target you will live in them when you're home with the baby You'll wear them more than a bra-buy your pre-preg size in the tank.

Thanks for the info! :)

Definitely don't invest a lot of money in nursing bras until you are officially sure you are going to be BFing. I bought two very cheap bras as a sized that I guessed I could be PP. My cup size went up dramatically though. I went from a 34 D before pregnancy to a 36 E during pregnancy to a 36 H 4 weeks PP . I am hoping my size dies down a little in the next couple of weeks before my chest is super intense.

These are what I lived in for the 15 months I EBFd DS. I loved how I could wear them under any shirt and be able to nurse without exposing my breast/flabby belly.
